Public Image and Relations With Other Units
The military police has been suffering from a negative public image almost since its inception, mostly for reporting on soldiers for minor misconducts which cause their punishment, usually in the form of confinement to the soldier's base or to a military prison.
The corps's deterrence power has weakened however, together with the overall level of discipline in the IDF, although there is no proof of a link between the two. In 2007, military policemen (in all sectors) suffered 64 physical attacks – 53 on duty, and 11 off-duty. Jail instructors are generally assaulted off-duty, while the opposite goes for policemen in the law enforcement sector.

“Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
